What Trump said are the well-worn and often rebutted lies of the fossil fuel lobby, whose lies are the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world. If you hear such climate science denial tropes, the answers to all of those can be found at skepticalscience.com

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

The lack of data about insect life in Australia is already having consequences for plants, animals, and even people.

Seriously, it’s time for Australia to cut the ties that bind us to the now defunct USA. NO more American wars. No more handing our sovereignty to the US Military Industrial Complex. No more bowing to a crazed, despotic numbskull. Dump AUKUS.

In #ScienceUnderSiege (www.barnesandnoble.com/w/science-un...), @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I criticize the NY Times for pushing unhelpful antiscience (like the "Lab Leak Theory" for COVID-19) or fossil fuel-friendly framing (e.g. in this case, "geoengineering" as a climate solution):

A critical difference between vehicles with internal combustion engines vs electric motors is much lower complexity and lower cost to build EVs Hybrid car makers saying 'we're gonna stick with more complex design and costly supply chain to build ICE' @fssau.futuresmart.com.au

Instead of charging my car at home from my own solar array for almost free, I'll go to a petrol station to fill up at 100 times the cost so that the petrol can be converted back to electricity to power my car. said no one #ev
